The Mystery of the Tarot

First of all, what is the Tarot?

Tarot is the practice of using one's intuition with the help of tarot cards, in order to determine certain situations or events.

"Tarot is an instrument that reveals the hidden things of the world and makes sense out of the visible ones." - Wald Amberstone

Why do people still use Tarot anyway? Isn't that, like, a fake scammer thing?

Well, no. The tarot is a powerful instrument that is more psychological than spiritual, although some people regard it as spiritual and believe they are messages from "The Universe." However, this is not exactly correct. Tarot cards are incredibly efficient--they were made by a mind that knew what people go through on a daily basis.

Tarot cards contain the feelings and situations that happen in the world. When you pull up a card, with your intuition and with the basic meaning of the card, you can then determine what someone is feeling and what is bound to happen next.

Why, then, is tarot only used by psychics?

Most people associate tarot cards with psychics and mystics, witches and astrologers. But in reality, anybody can use and read tarot efficiently. But they must study what it means, so that they can add their intuition, create a spread, and come up with an integrated answer.

There are many spreads that you can use. For example, if you're looking for an answer related to love, you can use this basic love spread:

Card 1: Their feelings towards you

Card 2: Nature of a possible relationship

Card 3: How to approach your situation.

Huh? How on earth would a card tell me how someone else feels?

That's because the card is only the tool, but your intuition and knowledge will ultimately give you the answer. Most people don't realize that they really already know the answer to their questions, but the answer lies deep within. The cards help you dig up that buried answer, and you ultimately have to rely on your intuition.

And no, this is not a mystic spiritual thing, it's psychology and nature.
